Yeah, so would I. But putting your art up for display now is just asking to have it be stolen; they've even found ways to remove watermarks and such that used to protect art. Plus, AI samples stuff to make its' images, and I don't want my creations violated. Anyways, Reliant is nearly done; just waiting on decals from Chas (when he can get to them; he's been very kind to me!), a print I need to do of Reliant for the stand: (That I can do down at our local library; they just don't allow decal paper or anything else like that) And another pin for the stand; I'm thinking of looking at my local thrift/ collectibles shop for the TMP version and swap that for the badge to put on Reliant's stand (it debuted in WoK anyways). Nothing concerning the Legioss, btw. And probably nothing in the future; that's most likely dead now. Stay tuned...

Thanks. Most of my work used to be on Artstation (100+ pieces) until people started stealing it. 😠The death knell was when AI began sampling everything under the sun; that's when it all came down, and any hopes for recognition (and possibly a career) died forever. All I have now are my models....

For these breaks on the ailerons and other parts, this is just ridiculous. Bandai has some nerve with their "we're aware of this" line. Maybe the next time they do a pre-order, folks should just tell them "Yeah, we're aware of it" and go look at something that doesn't break just by being observed. Anyways, My recommendation is to use my usual suggestion: Devcon Plastic welder, and either brass wire or small brass strip to secure it into place. Bandai just might want to consider making the hinge itself out of metal and the tail-fins glue or snap into place on them.

SOUNDA BOOSTA!!!!

Sorry I didn't reply to this before, nonner242; it got buried on me while I was away! You have some really good talents with your drawing and inkwork there! Your linework is just awesome!! I do drawing as well (at least when I'm able to focus and my disabilities aren't acting up and keeping me in pain!). A couple of examples from my end of things- Transformers: Macross (much of my work is done painting in Photoshop): A few in pencil: And a joke or two:

Mine's the 1/48 kit; I turned it into a 1/72 by using a smaller pilot and gluing in a 1/72 scale cockpit. I think the run they did for Monogram used shoddy plastic, to be honest. I had the red kit as a kid and it didn't seem so flimsy from my recollection. ROFL: I think you need a new paintjob and decals, bro!

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post

Nice legioss kit under there! As for age: your age, or the age of the kits?
-
Just be careful of that blue plastic; it has a tendency to crack and break like mad! You may want to use epoxy or plastic welder to reinforce the entire inside of it.

Much appreciated, Chas; at this point, the ones I would need are the top main hull registry number. I can get the file for it ( I can do it up in photoshop to the size I need), but I'm pretty well dead broke. TTo everyone else: I'm okay at this point (as okay as I will be). Still reeling and still recovering; thanks for everyone's concern. Been taking time to get some rest and try to relax.

On that note: has anyone put Mars out yet?

rght now, im backing off from everything. rying to find dcals and parts i need on two different projects leader 1 and relint) nearly blew fuses in my bain, and it's had some bad results. i tried [hotoshop today and nearly thrw my computer acrss the room out of frustraton i have an appintment with my nurologist later on toda; shes concerned about me so she had her office make an emergency appointment so they can run some tests.

Nice job, @nonner242!! As for me: got back to work on Reliant: But the decals suck major lemons: They're way too rounded, look like crap and in many cases do not resemble the movie markings. My printer is down, so I tried pricing stuff online and my eyeballs nearly popped out of my skull. also considered asking R2 about their newest decal sheets for this, but their prices and shipping are about the same as trying for the others. So, this us is pretty much finished and is going into storage along with the Leader-1 kit, the B-wing and a couple of others. I cannot afford any further stress, and this was beginning to aggravate me badly (upon medical advice after my latest seizure). Just going to watch everyone else for a while; at least you guys can finish projects (unlike me).

No problem. Try not to worry if you can; sometimes these things just happen and it's a minor glitch. It'll probably be underway soon.

Da-na na-na na-na na-na BAT-TROIIIIDDDDD!!!

Looks like Tiamat could use a laundromat...

You might want to contact the DHL customer service and see if they have more information on why it is being held.

This isn't Star Trek. If I want gritty, dark and dystopian, there are plenty of other franchises for that. They need to give Star Trek a rest for a while (continue SNW but not do much else new) and stop trying to be the next BSG:R

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
pengbuzz replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Sounds a lot like the YVF-14 "Tigercat" from RT; HG/ Macek probably swiped it or something. -
It's also going to obstruct the pilot's vision without some kind of drop towards the front.
-
Yeah, that tends to be something of a dilemma: the more fuel you carry, the more weight/ mass and the more you need to move it. Given the energy contained in a given unit of fuel, sooner or later, it cancels any advantage. This is what early spaceflight faced and in the case of Macross, they still face to some degree today. Modern Macross engines are more efficient (as you previously mentioned), but sooner or later, the amount of fuel/ propellant you carry is going to outweigh your engine power.

I think in some cases, the animation needs to be taken with a grain of salt and the model/ toy made to work the best realistic way possible.
